Top Questions
If you’re new to LiDAR technology or our reality capture services, you’re in the right place. Check out the most common questions we receive from clients and prospects.
What is LiDAR technology?
LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging. It is a remote sensing method that uses light pulses, which capture millions of measurements of a physical space in minutes. These measurements are used to create a highly detailed 3D map of the built environment, otherwise known as a point cloud.
What technology do you use for building scans?
We use a range of LiDAR scanners from various manufacturers, ensuring we have the ideal tool for every application.
How detailed are the level of scans you provide?
Our standard deliverable is LOD 300 based on the AIA/BIM Forum. However, we can tailor the level of detail to fit your scope and budget.
How quickly can you be onsite to begin my project?
After the project proposal is signed, we can typically be onsite within 2-3 business days.
How long does it typically take to scan a site?
We typically scan at a rate of 40,000 square feet per hour for typical office spaces and as much as 200,000 square feet per hour for more wide-open industrial spaces.
How long does it typically take to receive my deliverables?
2-3 weeks is our standard turnaround time.
Do I own the documentation when the project is done?
Yes, you will own all deliverables, including documentation, data, and files we provide.
How do we need to prepare onsite for the project launch?
Please make sure we can successfully enter the site and that all doors are unlocked.
How much do your services cost?
The cost depends on the square footage and the estimated time required from scanning to BIM delivery. Please contact us for a customized quote tailored to your project needs.
Can I schedule a demo or a lunch-and-learn?
Absolutely! We’d be happy to showcase our technology and services in an interactive session tailored to your team’s needs. Simply fill out the form on our Contact page, and we’ll be in touch.
